For mine eyes have seen: thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared: before the face of all people; To be a light to lighten the Gentiles: and to be the glory of thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. The Book of Common Prayer, 1662 ORIGINAL TEXT Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace: Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum: Lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto: Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen. display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

Ein Tonartwechsel am Beginn der dritten Strophe, zusammen mit kanonischen Einsätzen in den Oberstimmen, steigert die Energie des Stückes zu neuen Höhen, das seine Krönung in einer sehr jazzigen Schlusskadenz findet. ______________________ http://www.helblingchoral.com/?pagename=product&product=C7677 The choral piece Birthday was composed in 2014 for Auckland-based a Cappella group “Laudamus”.

Based on the 16th century poem by a major figure of the Counter-Reformation, St. John of the Cross, the piece depicts a soul leaving its “still house” and venturing into the night. Seemingly fearless, the soul is guided out of the darkness by the light of love; Luminous Night reveals the soul’s fulfillment.
